Merry Christmas

Well this week has been quite a rush with all that's going on down in deep south Texas at the Loring house....Our son has had his skin grafts and is home from the hospital doing very good...I talked to him today and he sounded very up beat which is great...He was looking forward to his daughter and grand kids coming over for Christmas Eve...I know that he was excited and looking forward to it....Also my brother in law got home from the hospital and doing very well also, so things are looking up in the health department for the family...

I managed to play pool a few days this week of course and took Marilyn to Wal-mart early in the week, cause it's been very crowded for the last few days...We tried to go to HEB this morning after we went out for breakfast...We drove into the parking lot, couldn't find a parking place and drove right out....We then stopped at Dollar General and picked up the couple of items that we needed with out any trouble....

Last night Marilyn and I went over to Magnolia Park to visit with old friends...Of course I played pool and Marilyn played cards with her girl friends...We got to talk and say HI to many of our old friends and wish them Merry Christmas...And now I want to wish all that read my blog "MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR"...

Did you think I had forgot????

I know I haven't posted anything but I have had a few things on my mind that I didn't want to just put down so please forgive me....Our son has been in the hospital for the last few days with some burns on one of his legs and having problems with infection and swelling...When the swelling and the infection goes down he is going to have some skin grafts done...Also my brother in law in Florida is also in the hospital with high fever and internal infection but now improving and should be released in the next day or so....Also the pool season has started it has kind of kept me busy also....Don't forget that I also have to take Marilyn to Wal-Mart every so often to make everyone happy...Well it's a great life if we just don't let it get us down....Just keep smiling there's a lot more good than bad......

Any Turkey Left???

Here it is a week after "Turkey Day" and I am wondering if there is any turkeys left on this earth....It seems that every one that I talk to had turkey for Thanksgiving with some left overs for the next few days or so....I know that we did also and it sure was good...I also know that I must have gained a few pounds for sure and that's something this old fat boy doesn't need at all....Well with no more turkeys at least the temptation is not there...HA HA..

Well at least the pool league has started for me on Wednesday mornings...I like to play pool but am not to excited to get up early in the morning and go play somewhere...I guess that's just the dues one has to pay for the privilege of being able to play...

The weather has been kind of cool for the last few days so it's a welcome relief from the hot weather...It doesn't seem that it should be as late in the year as it is...Time has a way of just slipping away so fast , the next thing you know it will be Christmas and the first of the year...Well it has been a great year anyway and we are so blessed to be as healthy as we are cause we don't have to go far to find someone a lot worse off than we are...
